Topic: php5

[steever]

Hi.

I would like to install PHP 5 on my 7.3 server so that I can install mahara and a few other PHP 5 web apps.  The instructions for installing on the wiki lead to dependency problems.  Does anyone have an idea of a work around?

Thanks in advance.

This is propebly not an answer, but still some info. After years with sme server I have learned that there is only one way to make a sme server unstable or less dependable and that is to modify it. No modifications will normally mean no problems.

I would guess upgrading to php5 is that kind of modification I would not do with a SME 7.3 installation.

What I actually do instead is to run SME server as a near unmodified virtual server. Then I also have a virtual Ubuntu and a virtual Centos server on the same PC box to do PHP5, if and when required. There has not been any issues or problems with this at all. Actually I am running "only" sme server most of the time. (Centos 64 + Vmware host system + virtual Smoothwall gateway + virtual sme 73, server only + virtual Windows 2000 Pro.)

There has not been a problem at all for the last six monts, and php5 can be done under virtual Ubuntu or virtual Centos, if/when required.

It would help if you were to give us some pointers for instance the output of the yum command which shows us where it fails.

Sorry about my post - I was typing with one hand and holding a 2-year old in the other.  I've used http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=37481.0 but the PHP 5 version it installs in the ibay is a little too old for mahara and a few other web apps.  So I thought I'd try to upgrade the system.

Here's the output of yum ...

Code: [Select]

yum --enablerepo=centosplus install php.i386 php-pear-Net-Socket php-pear-Auth-SASL php-pear-DB php-pear-HTTP php-pear-Mail php-pear-XML-Parser

My server's fully up to date.  Any idea what's causing it?  Please help!

You could setup a sme v8 beta (which is in quite an advanced stage), and see if mahara runs OK on that.
Then look at the various package versions installed and work backwards to installing them on sme7.3

[steever]

That's a good idea.  Mary, do you know if SME 8 is going to support ldap authentication?

...do you know if SME 8 is going to support ldap authentication?

That question is best followed up on the bug tracker. I'm sure some work is already underway in that direction so search first.
